Anti-theft computer hardware and software

Abstract

The disclosed Security Hardware/Software simultaneously triggers a mild yet effective shock to the invader's fingers, while completely shutting down the device that is being targeted for hacking. A first system interrupt based on a first unsuccessful login into the computer system, and configured to display a warning message to a user on a screen in communication with a keyboard of the computer system. The deterrent shock is delivered to the user based on the first system interrupt. A second system interrupt based on a second unsuccessful login, and configured to trigger an alarm and lock down computer system devices and inform a law enforcement agency of the second system interrupt. A third system interrupt is based on a third unsuccessful login. The third system interrupt is configured to accept a secure pass code from a vendor of the system to restore the system to a preinterrupt condition.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An Anti-theft device comprising:
 a first system interrupt based on a first unsuccessful login into a computer system via a user login, and configured to display a warning message to a user of the user login on a screen in communication with a keyboard of the computer system; 
 a low voltage and low current anode and cathode disposed adjacent an ‘Enter’ key of the keyboard configured to deliver a deterrent shock to the user of the user login based on the first system interrupt; 
 a second system interrupt based on a second unsuccessful login via the user login, and configured to trigger an alarm and lock down of computer system devices and inform a law enforcement agency of the second system interrupt; and 
 a third system interrupt based on a third unsuccessful login via the user login, the third system interrupt configured to accept a secure passcode from a vendor of the computer system to restore the computer system to a pre system interrupt condition. 
 
     
     
       2. The Anti-theft device of  claim 1 , wherein the second system interrupt further initiates the lock-down mode for all devices attached to the computer system including a laptop, a desktop, a cell phone and a tablet. 
     
     
       3. The Anti-theft device of  claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third system interrupts interface to the computer system via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection and electronic circuits therein. 
     
     
       4. The anti-theft device of  claim 1 , further comprising a low voltage and low current source of electricity to power the deterrent shock to the user of the keyboard. 
     
     
       5. The anti-theft device of  claim 1 , wherein the alarm is an audible alarm. 
     
     
       6. The anti-theft device of  claim 1 , further comprising the computer system configured to house a program code for the first, the second and the third interrupts in electronic circuits and connected to a USB port on the computer system via adjacent wires and wireless electronic circuits. 
     
     
       7. The anti-theft device of  claim 6 , wherein the connection to the computer system and to the USB port, also includes a connection to a power source for the low voltage and the low current cathode and anode and the alarm. 
     
     
       8. The anti-theft device of  claim 1 , wherein the secure passcode is shared with a vendor of the computer system at time of installation of the device.
